Why my AntiVir gets deactivated???

[Sabi]

Hi everyone;

I have got AntiVir Version 6 for Windows. Every now and then I have to activate it from ¿Service¿ in "Admin tools" as it goes off automatically! :smileythinking:

Has anyone had this experience before? And knows why this keeps happening?? It is quite frustrating to check if the umbrella is up!!!

I would not AVG Antivirus in the free version.



look here

KEINE GARANTIE auf die zeitnahe Verfügbarkeit von Aktualisierungen

No no warranty for time near Virus definitions updates.

Hi Seb;

But I don't understand German or whatever that language is....:smileysad:

[seb21__]

or whatever that language is...

it's german

No warranty for time near updates of Virus definitions.

May be, my english isn't the best.

I don't know whether AVG is a good software. I have never used this Software. But this sentence is a death sentence, for a antivir software.

KEINE GARANTIE auf die zeitnahe Verfügbarkeit von Aktualisierungen

If my translation is correct:

'NO GUARANTEE on the current availability of updatings'

then I belive that this refers to the product and not the virus definitions . The US website states 'Free Virus Database Updates for the lifetime of the product'.

Seb: they update the defntions very often, so i wouldn't worry about that.

Anyway you can't really complain as it's free.

How then does AVG compare with Symantec's Norton Internet Security?

[seb21__]

Don't know.

Compare a Lotos with an Trabant. Who wins the match?

[kee-lo_]

Its uncomparable, they're different - you need a firewall alongside AVG

[jammold]

OK lol not a fair comparison. If AVG and Symantec are compared on antiviral products then what is better?

Just wondering if AVG is better - I have Symantec's NIS 2005 now, but AVG is better I will get that in September...

Never pay for Symantec.:smileyshame_on_you:
